“Childhood is where our tools for survival are discovered and sharpened: curiosity; acceptance of others; imagination; appreciation of time and place; sense of adventure; and determination that does not give in to challenges, but recognizes inevitable limitations.”
Namimis ko na yung dati naming buhay.. walang gulo, walang away, puro saya at ligaya. Pero life is not always like that. Yan ang isang bagay na natutunan ko sa buhay ko ngayon. Sa bawat pagdagdag ng ating mga edad ay siya rin namang pagdagdag ng mga responsibilidad na nakaatang sa ating balikat.
When I was 7 years old, malaki bahay namen, pero gawa pa yun noon sa kawayan. merong dalawang kwarto, may kusina, malakin salas, kahit na ang lupa pa ang sahig,, at wala kameng banyo,, ahahaha, dun kame naliligo at naihi sa likod bahay, tapos pagpupupu na dun na kame sa cr ni lola napunta,, he he, walang trabaho si ina at ang ama ko naman ay isang factory worker. Pero ganun pa man, masaya kame lagueh,, lagi kaming magkalaro ng kua ko. Hindi kami pinpayagang lumabas ng bahay pero dahil pareho kaming pasaway ng kapatid ko. Tumatakas kameng dalawa. Dun kame dumadadan sa silong kapag tulog na si ina sa hapon. Hanggang sa magdilim na dun pa lang akme uuwe at pagdating sa bahay. Maiinit na ulo ni ina ang naghihintay. palo dito at palo doon. Mura dito at mura doon. pero nag enjoy naman kame ni kuya sa labas.. he he, everyday yun yung eksena sa bahay namen.
Until dumating sa buhay namen si yeth, siya yung bunso, makulit, pasaway, cute, laging tumatakas. sya ang pinaghalong kami ng kuya ko. si kuya yung makulit, pasaway, ako naman ang cute at ang parehong meron kami ni kuya. mahilig tumakas at maglaro sa labas. Bilang bunso, lagi namin siyang pinagbibigyan sa anumang kanyang gustuhain, kasi pag umiyak yun lagot kami pareho ni kuya.
After several years, ang dami ng nagbago. pumapasok na kami pareho ni kuya ng elementary. naglalabada na si ina,si ama dun pa din nagtatrabaho, si yeth lumalaki na din. Naging bato na ang bahay namen. pero hindi na sa dating kinatatayuan ng bahay namen, dun na kami sa tabi nga bahay ni lola nakatira. pero mas maliit na compare dati, maliit na salas at kusina, isang kwarto, gayun pa man may sarili na kaming cr.
Pero magulo, lagi na lang nagaaway si ina at si ama. si kuya di na ako sinasama na lumabas ng bahay, Keya ayun tengga ako sa bahay. bad trip aman oh... pag amgaaway si ina at ama, damay lahat ng miembro ng family.. pati kami na nakikinig lang nasesermonan din.. unlike nung mga bata pa kami na lagi silang magkasundo kahit wala kaming pepay.. sana pede pa ibalik ang panahon.. sana pede pang baguhin ang mga nangyayari ngayon. Sana lagi na lang kaming mga bata..
Living in this world is full of surprises and changes.. one day in our life changes will occur but we wil have a memory of our childhood and that would never change.
